Abstract
A case of duodenojejunal intussusception secondary to a large hamartomatous polyp of Brunner’s glands was reported in a 15-year-old girl. Despite a great preponderance of ileocolic intussusception in childhood, this is the first reported case of duodenojejunal intussusception occurring in that age group. The diagnosis was not made by clinical examination; complete duodenal obstruction was shown in upper gastrointestinal series and Accepted for publication at the office of the Founding Editor. by endoscopy. The intussusception was reduced manually at laparotomy, and the polyp was excised. Pathological examination revealed a preponderance of normal-appearing Brunner’s glands in the tumor, consistent with the diagnosis of Brunner’s gland hamartoma.
